Anti-AMACR: Mouse alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase Antibody |
 |
BACKGROUND AMACR, also known as P504S, is a mitochondrial and peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the racemization of alpha-methyl, branched carboxylic coenzyme A thioesters and is Responsible for the conversion of pristanoyl-CoA and C27-bile acyl-CoAs to their (S)-stereoisomers. The conversion to the (S)-stereoisomers is necessary for degradation of these substrates by peroxisomal beta-oxidation. Thus, it plays a crucial role in the beta-oxidation of bile acid intermediates, dietary branched-chain fatty acids, and fatty acid derivatives.1 Mutations in this gene may be associated with adult-onset sensorimotor neuropathy, pigmentary retinopathy, and adrenomyeloneuropathy due to defects in bile acid synthesis.2 Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Recent studies showed that AMACR is overexpressed in a variety of neoplasms, such as prostate and colon cancer. AMACR overexpression in human solid tumors is a potential target for cancer treatment.3
